"Foolish Monkeigh! You will bring doom upon us a-" *sound of Eldar guardian's neck snapping* What. What?
I concur, I'd like to see a bit more Dark Eldar fluff as well. Now that they have been updated back in 5th ed, there is so much life to them. I'd really like to see the Dark City and its inhabitants explored.
"All right, all right. The pretty blue bauble demands attention, I see that now, but how to go about consummating such fervent desires, hmm? Too far to leap across the gap, so how's a poor performer supposed to satisfy his idle curiosity?" - Motley, to himself (PotA p.288)
A little more Motley-talk because "Who are you? What do you want?" "That's the spirit! Asking the right questions! Now calm down and you can guess the answer by yourself - I'll help you with clues and we'll play a little game together - won't that be fun? Let's start with 'Who am I?' I'll give you a hint - do you think I am from Commorragh?" "No... You're a harlequin." "That's right! I am a harlequin, but you can call me Motley. This is wonderful! See how well you're doing? Now for question number two things get a lot more difficult. 'What do I want?' Well that could include all manner of things - peace, prosperity, love, laughter and the leisure in which to enjoy them. All sorts of things! No, I think to be fair we'll have to restrain ourselves to 'What do I want right now?', don't you think?" *glare* - Motley and a poor, pinned kabalite with an elegant, pointed shoe planted on his chest.
"The stars themselves once lived and died at our command, yet you still dare to oppose our will." "He who sees his own doom can better avoid its path. He who sees the doom of others can deliver it." Can't beat the classics.
My favourite quote is by the Harlequin Motley. Throughout the entire trilogy he jokes around, but in that one moment, he's dead serious. And it's great.
And for that I am grateful. Not having to listen to 14 year olds spew obnoxious catchphrases down their headsets every two god damn seconds is one of the reasons I'm playing Eldar. Speaking of battlecries, Eldar have the best one in 40k and thank christ it's too long to regurgitate over a mic. "Blood runs, Anger rises, Death wakes, War calls."
